I never was a friend of the Access programmer, not for the Matrix and not for the Microwave.
In case of the Matrix, it only covers the "important" parameters, but not the mod matriss and the global parameters,- so you need a software editor anyway in addition.
External hardware programmers for only one synth model are unfortunally worth nothing in real road life,- if they are 19" units they enlarge your racks and if the racks are not near by you, offstage instead, they are unusable.
My racks were never near by me ´cause the production wanted to see a clean stage ever.
Several non 19" units are more uncomfortable. They add ( long) midi runs, crash down the floor or get lost or stolen.
And almost any use walwart PSUs,- source of error No.1
For studio usage software is the best anyway

I should clarify that I only tried with an Encore Knobby and the software editors out there on mine, not the Access Programmer.

I know someone that had the Access Programmer that worked fine as well. I have an older Matrix-6 and never got it to work. The system would just freeze up. I resolved myself to using the matrix modulation and routing knobs to CC per below.
